2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Powertrain

In 2023, the Jeep Grand Cherokee promises power, efficiency, and impressive towing capacity, all thanks to its two formidable engine options.

First is the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine, which is able to deliver 293 horsepower. Notable for its Electronic Stop/Start Technology, this engine maximizes efficiency by stopping fuel flow and turning off the engine when the vehicle is at rest. But don't let its efficiency fool you - it can also tow up to 6,200 pounds.

The Grand Cherokee can also be equipped with the optional 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine. Generating up to 357 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. Even with such high output, it remains efficient, capable of deactivating four of its eight cylinders when full power isn't necessary. And it doesn't stop there. This engine has a towing capacity of an impressive 7,200 pounds.

Capabilty

Innovative features like the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System help drivers navigate different terrains. This system adjusts the vehicle's traction settings to handle various conditions effectively, with Rock, Sand/Mud, Snow, Auto, and Sport modes.

The Grand Cherokee also boasts the unique Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension system, offering the flexibility to change the vehicle's height to suit different needs. With faster and more responsive performance than its predecessor, this system provides impressive ground clearance and a water-fording capability of up to 24 inches.

4x4 Systems

To further enhance the Grand Cherokee's capabilities, three additional systems are available. Quadra-Trac I® features an active single-speed transfer case for standard conditions, while Quadra-Trac II® adds a two-speed transfer case for more challenging off-road situations. Lastly, the Quadra-Drive® II Four-Wheel-Drive (4WD) system incorporates a rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differential and, exclusive to the Trailhawk® model, a sway bar disconnect feature. These systems are optional and can be chosen to meet your specific driving needs, even improving fuel efficiency with their quick-acting front-axle disconnect feature.

Laredo: As the introductory model of the Grand Cherokee line, the Laredo is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine, which supplies 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Standard features include an 8.4-inch touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, fabric upholstery, and a rearview camera for added safety.

Altitude: The Altitude is a notch above the Laredo, offering a stylish look with black exterior accents and 20-inch black wheels. A body-color grille, fog lights, and a power liftgate add a touch of sophistication. Inside, it has a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Limited: The Limited model maintains the 3.6-liter V6 engine but adds several comfort-enhancing features. It adds leather upholstery and heated front seats for those cold mornings, along with an upgraded 10.1-inch touchscreen that includes navigation. Optional features include a panoramic sunroof and an advanced 10-speaker Alpine audio system.

Overland: The Overland model takes performance further with an optional 5.7-liter V8 engine, delivering 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. It builds on the Limited's features by adding the Quadra-Trac II 4WD and Selec-Terrain systems for improved off-road ability. Heated and ventilated front seats and a 19-speaker McIntosh sound system enhance comfort and entertainment.

Summit: The Summit, as the name suggests, tops the range by incorporating luxury into the Overland's features. It presents 20-inch wheels, a heated steering wheel, and 12-way power-adjustable front seats. Leather upholstery underscores the premium feel. A variety of safety and security systems are incorporated, and a top-of-the-line 19-speaker McIntosh sound system is an available option.

Technology

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee elevates in-car connectivity and passenger entertainment to a new level. An optional individual screen for the front-seat passenger offers access to entertainment features, including the ability to stream via Amazon Fire TV.

At the heart of the Grand Cherokee's technological features is the Uconnect® 5 system. Furnished with TomTom Navigation and projected on a 10.1-inch touchscreen, this system enables personalization and multi-smartphone connectivity. In the three-row Grand Cherokee L model, a rear-seat monitoring camera allows you to keep an eye on back-seat passengers without needing to turn around.

For audiophiles, the Grand Cherokee offers an optional McIntosh® sound system. With a leading-class number of speakers, this high-end audio system immerses you in superior sound quality via 19 custom-designed speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer, all driven by a 17-channel amplifier.

Safety and Stability Features

Active Driving Assist is one of the optional features that ensures your driving is safe, keeping your vehicle centered in its lane and maintaining a safe distance from the car in front while cruising on the highway. There's also Adaptive Cruise Control, which adapts your speed to keep a preset gap from the vehicle ahead. The Active Lane Management System helps the driver maintain lane position and helps prevent possible collisions with vehicles in blind spots.

The Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning system with Active Braking and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection is another essential safety feature designed to warn you and react against front-end collisions.

To facilitate safe parking, the Grand Cherokee boasts the Parkview® Rear Back-Up Camera and ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist systems. Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection are included to monitor hard-to-see zones and detect vehicles crossing behind you. All these features combine to make the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee a reliable and safety-focused vehicle choice.
